title: Unusual combination of hypoplastic left ventricle, atrioventricular septal defect with restrictive ventricular septal defect, and common arterial trunk.
abstract: We describe rare cases of common arterial trunk (truncus arteriosus communis) with unbalanced atrioventricular septal defect, left ventricular hypoplasia, and restrictive ventricular septal defect. The embryology, hemodynamics, and the clinical implications of this complex combination are discussed.
